[QUOTE="DairyNerd, post: 8176367, member: 168926"] Had two grass samples back today. Current field cows are in 11ME, 14.5 protein. Next field to graze 11.7ME, 17.5 protein. I knew current field wasn't so good, but needed to graze it, was cut for first cut, still a bit suprised the protein was that low but has grown back slowly and got a bit far on. Milk Ureas got low which is why i did the samples, milk has also dropped a bit too. Questions: Would you be worried about these levels of protein? Cows are freshly calved and getting 1.5kg cake a day at 16%. Next fields in the rotation should be better but i feel like 17.5% isnt that high really for grass at 2800-3000, just wondered about people's thoughts on it really. [/QUOTE]
